Woman critical following Milton crash

An 80-year-old Guelph woman is in critical condition after a vehicle she was a passenger in collided into the side of a tractor trailer that was backing into a driveway in Campellville Thursday night.

Halton Regional Police say the accident took place around 7:30. The vehicle, driven by a 79-year-old Guelph man was northbound on Guelph Line near No. 20 Side Road when it hit the left side fuel tank of the truck. There was severe damage to both vehicles.

Police say three people were taken to Milton District Hospital, including the driver of the car and the driver of the transport truck, a 41-year-old Campbellville man.

The female passenger was later transferred to Hamilton General Hospital where she remains in critical condition with serious internal injuries, according to police.

Due to the seriousness of the injuries, the Collision Reconstruction Unit (CRU) attended the scene and are continuing to investigate the crash.

Guelph Line was closed for five hours between No. 17 and No. 20 Side Roads while forensic officers and reconstruction officers investigated and collected evidence.

Investigators say weather, alcohol or speed are not considered to be factors in the collision.
